And welcome to the show. This is a special edition of the Auburn podcast. I'm your host, Painter Sharpless. Coach Gus Malzon met with media members on Monday.

Gave a rundown of spring practice. And there's a lot of questions going into spring practice.

The quarterback battle,

the running back rotation, how does the offensive line improve? What does the linebacker core do with all those fresh faces? And of course, what will the offense look like under

head coach Gus Malzon resuming play calling duties? Just want to remind you to check out our Patreon page. We certainly

So, without further ado, we'll get to coach Gus Malizant and his comments ahead of Auburn's first spring practice of 2019.

Okay, first off, I'd like to congratulate Bruce Pearl and Auburn basketball team for winning the SEC tournament.

Really fun to watch, you know, what he's done in five years to get our program where

it's at today is really unbelievable.

And being here before he got here, you know, it says a lot.

But just the way they played, just a true team,

knowing who they are, playing their strengths,

and playing their best game in the biggest game of the year,

says a lot.

So real happy for him and his team and wish them luck,

NCAA tournament.

Starting spring practice today, our coaches are real excited about it.

Our players are too.
